Thanks for bringing this to our attention, Michael. We're seeing the same alignment problem with Numbered List blocks. Our team is taking a closer look at this, and I'll keep you posted on any updates I receive.
Thanks for the post, Michael. I had some of my team bring this to my attention as it's not how numbered lists aligned back in the past. I was about to submit the issue to the Articulate team and make a post on here.
Here's a sample from a couple of Rise courses w/ the numbered list block, the past one was exported back in Dec '17 without the offset. I realize the 'past' one has paragraphs of text differentiating it from the current output with single lines of text, but that shouldn't be a factor in rendering the content properly aligned sans the offset.
^ This is something we'd love to be able to do as well. From your example, I think you're in the same boat as us. Our designers find it odd that text colors can be manipulated, but the bullet color can't (out of the list block one that matches the course theme setting).
This limits us with the use of content block background colors and the utilization of our corporate branding primary and secondary color palletes. Considering the 'List' block type defaults to color chosen in the course's theme settings, having control over the color scheme applied to the inline text lists bullets/numbers would be welcomed.
Cass, it must be a bug that somehow came out with the last update? It really is rough because it's the first thing that people notice.
It would be great if this issue was resolved quickly. Additional features (like the ones Angela mentioned) would be nice, but something as important as alignment is a "must" in my mind.
Really sorry this bug is affecting all of you. We're working through this with our Product team now, and I'll let you know as soon as I have an update.
Regarding your question about bullet color and number size, the formatting of bullets and numbers in a text block won't use the custom colors or size you've enabled. I can see how it may help with your course design, so I've shared your thoughts with our team!
Hi - I'm getting this mis-aligned bullets and text problem in Rise. Have tested it in Firefox, Chrome and Safari. They all show the same problem in the same way. It happens with all the bullet styles - numbers, check boxes, bullets. They seem to be top aligned. Not a beautiful thing. Is there a workaround or fix?
In a List Block, the number, checkbox, or bullet will be aligned to the top of the text. It sounds like you'd prefer an option for center alignment. I'll pass that suggestion along to my team!
Hi Patty! The Introduction and Summary steps in a process block default to center alignment for your text. You can select your summary text and choose left alignment when the formatting tool appears.
Hi Alyssa/staff. Text in numbered lists (or checkbox, or bulleted list) is still not vertically top aligned for me (because there is spacing above the first line of text, which cannot be revised). Was this fixed, and now broken again? Please advise.
I have cut and paste some content into RISE module and although I have added bullets and numbering in the edit version - when I preveiw the bullets and numbering don't appear. What do I need to do?
Tagging onto this conversation.. Currently experiencing unaligned bullets. I've tried clearing the formatting, copy/pasting from Word, and typing into a new list.

On a similar note - I am trying to modify the color of the bullet to match the text. Is this possible?

If I could manipulate the spacing, I think we could fix it to a numbered list instead. Do you know of a trick to narrow the spacing?

The other weird thing about the bullets & numbering is changing the size. When I make the font larger, the numbers don't change.

I am seeing this same problem in Rise right now. It sounds like this was resolved, so not sure why I can't get it right!
Hi Patty! The Introduction and Summary steps in a process block default to center alignment for your text. You can select your summary text and choose left alignment when the formatting tool appears.
Let me know if that's not working!
Crystal -- I'm so used to bulleted lists defaulting to left alignment that it didn't occur to me to also select left alignment. That worked. Thanks!

Hi Caroline! It looks like you're using Calibri for your theme font, is that right?
Here's what a numbered list bock looks like with Calibri from my side. Did you copy/paste your text from another source like a Word document or a PDF?
Hi all,
quick question to all.
I have cut and paste some content into RISE module and although I have added bullets and numbering in the edit version - when I preveiw the bullets and numbering don't appear. What do I need to do?
thanks for any help.
Hi there, Connie. We're working on a fix for the issue with bulleted and numbered text right now. I'm sorry for the trouble!
I'll post an update here when we're back in action.
Hi again! You can refresh your page, and your bullets and numbering should be fixed. Sorry for the hiccup!

Hi Erin! Sorry to hear this is happening to you. Can you post a screenshot of what you are seeing?
